Artificial intelligence is changing how organisations operate, make decisions and manage risk. For auditors, the challenge is not merely understanding the technology, but knowing how to evaluate whether it is being used responsibly, transparently and with appropriate oversight.
About this webinar
Join Associate Professor Sezer Bozkus Kahyaoglu and Dr Linda C. Kostic for a practical Journal Webinar conversation exploring what artificial intelligence governance means for auditors and assurance professionals.
Drawing on Linda’s experience across cybersecurity, technology risk, internal audit and AI research, the discussion will consider how auditors can approach AI-enabled processes, governance structures and emerging risks without becoming overwhelmed by technical complexity.
The conversation will explore practical AI terminology, responsible and explainable AI, third-party technology, data quality, human oversight and the ways in which AI may affect audit evidence, validation and decision-making.
Rather than focusing heavily on theory, the session will offer an accessible discussion about the questions auditors should be asking as organisations increasingly integrate AI into their operations.
Who should attend?
This conversation is intended for internal auditors, IT and cybersecurity auditors, risk and compliance professionals, governance practitioners and assurance leaders seeking a clearer understanding of how artificial intelligence may affect control design, oversight and audit responsibilities.
It may also be valuable for audit committee members, executives, educators and students interested in responsible AI adoption and independent assurance over AI-enabled processes.
